          The Mill, Canton will create a brand
          new village community in an extremely
          desirable riverside location, close to
          the city centre.

          The development which is being delivered
          by a partnership of Tirion Group, Cadwyn
          Housing Association and Lovell Partnerships
          will transform the former 53-acre former
          Arjo Wiggins paper mill site with 800
          high-quality houses and apartments.
          Tirion has unlocked the potential of the long
          disused paper mill site by acquiring and
          cleaning up the brownfield land with
          support from the Welsh Government and
          Principality Building Society.

          The £100 million urban village is one of
          Wales’ biggest regeneration schemes which
          will create a vibrant and sustainable new
          Riverside village community.
